PACK EXPO 2016 – Booth Preview Part Four

The new display contains six conveyors and demonstrates the many different ways to handle the relatively small product.

The loop includes two SmartFlexconveyors outfitted with FlexMove Technology, a 2200 Series nose-over squeeze, a 3200 Series bottomless squeezing conveyor; and two 3200 Series conveyors with Activated Roller Belt (ARB) Technology, which is a patent-protected technology of Intralox.

The ARB technology features and benefits include :

Flexibility to handle multiple product sizes without the need for changeover

Minimizes floor space consumption

Increased system reliability

Eliminates costly system controls, reducing complexity

Encased moving parts provide safer work environments

Possible ARB solutions include :

90 degree transfers maintaining product orientation

Aligners/edge justification

Case turners

Bump turns

Touchless low friction merges

Rejects

The SmartFlex Twist uses two SmartFlex Conveyors to turn a product 90°. See a case handling application where we used a SmartFlex Twist here.

The 2200 Series nose-over squeeze is a pacing conveyor featuring a FlexMove common mount. These conveyors run slower than the mainline SmartFlex and provide a gap between products.

The final portion of the loop features a 3200 Series bottomless squeezing conveyor. The bottomless conveyor design gives access to the underside of packages for processes such as taping, labeling and/or inspection without the need to turn the product.
